Naveed Hakeem

Naveed Hakeem serves as a Lecturer in Economics at Glasgow Caledonian University, where he completed his PhD in 2023. His academic appointment focuses on policy-relevant economic research within Scotland's devolved governance context, with particular emphasis on welfare systems and poverty reduction strategies.

Dr. Hakeem's research expertise spans welfare economics, childcare policy impacts, and basic income feasibility in devolved systems. His methodological approach combines rapid evidence reviews with regional economic modeling, generating policy insights for Scottish institutions. Key contributions include analyses of childcare expansion effects on parental employment and household budgets in low-income families across Glasgow.

Recent scholarly output (2022-2025) demonstrates consistent focus on Scotland-specific economic policy challenges, with peer-reviewed publications examining income guarantee systems and local economic development. This work frequently intersects with Scottish Government priorities through commissioned research for the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit.

As a supervisor, Dr. Hakeem actively accepts PhD students interested in welfare policy analysis, maintaining structured guidance through regular meetings and opportunities for policy engagement. His collaborative network includes researchers across Scottish universities and practitioners within poverty reduction initiatives.
